Spin resistance of two typical general aviation airplanes has been studied. Improvement in spin resistance due to an outboard wing leading-edge modification was evaluated through wind-tunnel and flight tests. The basic airplanes would readily enter a spin; however, with the wing modification the airplanes were highly spin resistant. Spin resistance has been related to the angle of attack of the outer wing panel and the yaw rate as a step toward development of guidelines for design of more spin resistant airplanes.
